Description
At the time indicated, we'll meet at Passage Notre Dame to start this private tour in Annecy. Let's discover the secrets of the capital of Haute-Savoie!
Did you know that Annecy is known as the Venice of the French Alps? With introductions over, we'll start a route around the city's beautiful old town. We'll walk through the narrow cobblestone streets observing the pastel-coloured houses and crossing its many canals. It's a real fairytale destination!
During the private tour, we'll tell you the history of Annecy. We'll also pass by the Palais de l'Ile, the old prison and Palais de Justice, now the History Museum in Annecy. Near this building from the 12th century, you can find Rue Sainte-Claire, a street full of houses with lots of arches.
We'll continue the tour in the upper part of the city, where the Château d'Annecy can be found, the old residence of the Counts of Geneva and the Dukes of Nemours. Of course, we can't end this guided tour around Annecy without visiting one of its iconic sights: the lake. There's nothing better than taking a stroll along its shores!
After 1.5 hours, we'll end our private tour at the initial meeting point.
